demonstar55@ Thanks for the issue.

As per the above description, this looks like a feature request to add option to hide People Menu.
Marking this as Untriaged for further updates from Dev.

Thanks..

+markchang for consideration (or for feedback re perceived menu / button value w/ single user). I don't disagree here, but I assume this won't take prio unless there's a strong demand for it, personally I'd WontFix it. Not because it's a bad idea but because the complexity it adds (and opportunity cost) doesn't seem worth it too me.

Elaboration for whoever might be interested: Dynamically hiding this button would complicate the code quite a bit. I would prefer that a hypothetical solution for it would be foldable into the 3-dot menu alongside browser actions (extensions), but it cannot use the slider, or be a browser action, as it's part of the trusted area and we don't want people to accidentally hide the trusted area. It's also not technically a browser action, so the hide / show state cannot be saved the same way.

To add to the complexity we would possibly also want this hide setting to only be respected if it's a single user, and they are not in guest mode nor in incognito. The other states use badging to convey that they're specific modes or to distinguish between multi-profile. Only partially respecting "hide" would add to user confusion ("why is hide not working?").

Hi. Thank you for your feedback and continued use of Chrome.

We are continuously evolving both our use of space in the UI and how we represent the signed-in state to our users. We do not have any immediate plans to remove this avatar, so in the interest of transparency, I am closing this bug. Thanks.

Thanks for nothing.
